TNA YANKS ALL TALENT FROM RING OF HONOR: HOMICIDE, AUSTIN ARIES GONE FROM ROH DUE TO PPV DEAL
by Mike Johnson @ 10:06:00 AM on 5/3/2007

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling informed Ring of Honor today that effective immediately, all TNA contracted talents have been pulled from scheduled and future ROH bookings.

With the departure of Christopher Daniels last week, that would mean that former ROH champions Homicide and Austin Aries are no longer be allowed to appear at Ring of Honor events and are already done with the company.

The expected ROH return of Samoa Joe later this year, which was foreshadowed when Joe defeated current ROH champion Takeshi Morishima the night before Morishima won the title, is also off the books.

TNA made the call after ROH's announcement yesterday that they signed a deal to begin airing taped PPV events on 7/1. The first PPV will be taped on 5/12 in New York City at the Manhattan Center.

TNA sources acknowledged that the decision will likely upset ROH fans, but felt they had no choice after learning about ROH's PPV expansion yesterday via the Internet. There's no word why the pulled talents couldn't appear on matches that wouldn't be aired on the taped PPV events.

ROH booker Gabe Sapolskly declined comment on the situation when contacted this morning, but given the way the ROH storylines have phased out TNA performers, this likely was not an unexpected move.

What does this do to gang wars? Stupid TNA. Although I'm sure Aries will be back in ROH sooner rather than later, but who knows with TNA.

TNA is done. They had 2 years to get their **** together but instead they hired Russo and let the X-division turn into a midcard comedy act. TNA's fanbase consists of, essentially, some internet fans, and people in Orlando. ROH already has ALL the internet wrestling fans, and fanbases in NYC, Philly, Chicago, and Boston. With all the hype this July PPV will get from the 'net and word of mouth from ROH fans, I wouldn't be suprised for TNA to get a little nervous when it sees the buy-rates it gets.

Also, as soon as Aries can get out of his TNA deal, he'll get one of ROH's contracts.

I want to support TNA, i really do. They have so much talent and a national stage.

[edit] Legal problems
In March of 2004, Rob Feinstein was caught in an internet sting designed to catch sexual predators. Feinstein, who allegedly believed he was talking to a 14 year old boy, claimed he was a wrestler with Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and eventually asked the boy if he could meet him at his home later, having implied in the chat that he was considering the boy's offer for sex.[2] When Feinstein arrived at the home, he was met by a news crew. Although no formal charges were ever brought against him by police, the incident proved to be disastrous publicity for both Ring of Honor and Feinstein. It caused a temporary split with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, cancellation of an upcoming show in Glen Burnie, Maryland, and eventually resulted in Feinstein selling his share of Ring of Honor

I'm sure most of you internet wrestling fans are already well aware of this, but as a casual viewer I had never heard that before. That's pretty sick.

Triple H? How is it a Triple H ripoff? If anything its a Ted Dibiase ripoff. He even has his own slave (Virgil) in Young.

I think he's more of a Ravishing Rick Rude just with the money storyline of Dibiase.

Yeah, Roode's more of a DiBiase character than Triple H. Although I'm glad to see they're pushing him. Putting him against Cornette and in a match with Jarrett should help get him over. Especially if he could pull off the win over Jarrett.
